👏 Always a pleasure to work with #schools & universities on parent-school partnerships.

'Fear of conflict' is often a barrier more than time and budget when it comes to this work.

I say, "what's the best that could happen?" Lifting outcomes for your community!

📢 National Behaviour Survey, 2024-25 Data

Over 𝟱𝟬% of parents say they only hear from their child's school when something has gone wrong.

Imagine the impact if those same parents heard 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 about effort, kindness and progress.

🏳️‍🌈 One mile above sea level and proud.

I find myself at the Colorado State Capitol during #Denver #Pride.

A privilege to be here at a time when hard fought rights feel more fragile than ever.

Remember, rights for others doesn’t take rights away from you… it’s not pie! 🥧

💡 NEW &Parents BLOG: We use the term “hard-to-reach” to describe many parents. But this shifts the spotlight away from the systems that aren’t designed to be accessible for parents in the first place.

What are we offering families to turn up to?
